Al-Sadr's men killed Casey - Now Bush will help al-Sadr run Iraq!
from Larry C. Johnson
http://noquarter.typepad.com/my_weblog/2005/08/what_george_bus.html

Maybe George Bush could clarify why these men {Casey Sheehan and his comrades} died. According to several press reports, they were attacked and killed by forces loyal to Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr. And where is al-Sadr today? He's a player in the Shiite community in Iraq which is on the verge of installing Islam as the basis of government in Iraq. In effect, Casey and his comrades were killed by people whose leaders are on the verge of taking control in Iraq. It would be one thing if George Bush could tell Casey's mom and the moms of the other boys who died that their sons gave their lives to create a secular Iraq. But we now know that is not true. They gave their lives in a cause that is allowing some Islamic extremists loyal to Iran to play a major role in the "new" Iraq.

====

Bush sends troops to die -- and then sets their killers up to run the new pro-Iran Islamic Republic of Iraq.

I bet Freepers' heads would explode if they realized this.

1. Advancing the agenda of wild eyed, nutjob Al-Sadr is a "noble cause".

3. Al Sadr is not about to take control of Iraq.
He is pissed off at the guys that are "about to take control of Iraq".
There appears to be a good chance he will be on the other side in the
coming civil war.

Otherwise I have no beef with this argument.
